Secular trends and birth cohort effects in unprovoked seizures: Rochester, Minnesota 1935-1984.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:In temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), the thalamus is well known for its role in the propagation and spread of epileptiform activity. However, the integrity of thalamocortical functional connectivity (FC) in TLE and its relation to specific seizure patterns have not yet been determined. We address these issues wit...
